A retreat from the masses
Set in a beautiful bush setting, the property has all of the comforts needed for a fuss free holiday. We appreciated the pantry items and access to produce in the orchard. Great walks around the property and lots of space, both inside and out, to spread out and relax. Well suited to families, with the towns of Anglesea and Torquay a short drive away. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Peaceful bush retreat!
We had a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful stay in Bellbrae! We would high recommend this wonderful home! A 15 min drive to many terrific beaches. The house layout is very family friendly with privacy and several living areas, and the bush land behind the house is magic. Kitchen brilliantly equipped. A terrific holiday! 5 stars.

Amazing holiday destination
We have just returned from our wonderful holiday at Jan's place. It is truly a special place. We all arrived desperately hoping for a relaxing break away and we were treated to just that. We felt like we were away in the bush but had the luxury of also enjoying Jan's lovely house with all the Home comforts. When the weather allowed we also lite the camp fire at night which we all loved. Jan was also amazing with communicating with us when needed. I couldn't recommend this place more... It's fantastic!! Thanks so much Jan!

Just what the Doctor ordered!
After the year that 2020 was, spending 2 weeks at Jan's bush retreat was just what we (4 adults, 4 kids) needed. The outlay of the house was perfect, as the location - 10 mins from Torquay, Anglesea and Pt Addis. We enjoyed nights around both the campfire and internal fireplace watching movies from Jan's DVD collection. The 2 living spaces were great - kids at one, parents at the other with a door in between ;) The kids loved the abundance of space to explore, ride their bikes and play cricket while also enjoying the games and puzzles inside. The phrase 'get off technology' was a distant memory ;) We visited the chocolate factory, did day trips to the different beaches & towns and enjoyed horse riding at the nearby Spring Creek Trails. The WIFI was super reliable for when we needed to connect with family and friends over Christmas & NYs and stay in touch with the world. An amazing place to stay that we will definitely head back to soon! 5/5. Thanks, Jan!
